Great way to see lots of Wellington Sites - I found this tour by accident, and was not disappointed. She explained a lot about her hometown, took us to many sights, especially ones that I really wanted to see... read more Zealandia, took us to the Cable Car Museum, rode the Cable Car and experienced how steep the hills are. We had high tea at the Roxy Cinema and Cafe. The food was excellent and walked around the Roxy and saw a real Oscar award and a display of "Precious". We went to Weta Caves and saw many props used in Peter Jackson's movies, drove around Seatoun Bay, saw Peter Jackson's house, site of the first Maori Landing of Kupe at Oruatiti Reserve, Mt. Victoria where we saw a 360 degree view of Wellington, the Rose Garden, Peace Flame Japanese Garden with waterfall, the "Beehive" Parliament grounds and to the Backbencher Gastropub to look at puppets of famous politicians. We had a very nice time and Helen. You won't be disappointed!

  Great day in Wellington with Helen!! - Our group of 9 arriving on the Celebrity Solstice in November 2017 had a fantastic tour of Wellington with Helen in a very comfortable van. We saw the highlights... read more of the city and had a great lunch at the newly renovated art deco Roxy Theatre. We also had a tour of the WETA studios.

  Tour in Wellington, NZ - Absolutely a great tour company! There were 8 of us travelling together in New Zealand and Australia, so Helen customized an all day tour for us in Wellington, NZ.... read more (and picked us up from the cruise port). Despite the rain all day, Helen made it a wonderful tour that was fun and very informative. We all had a lovely day. I would highly recommend this tour company as you won't be disappointed!!!!
Thanks, Helen, for a fabulous day that we won't forget! Janice

  Simply Amazing!! - Helen was simply amazing! We booked a wine tour with Helen based on all the wonderful TripAdvisor reviews and we are so happy we did! She arranged a full... read more day of wine tasting, lunch, a brief tour of Wellington and even a stop at Rivendell for some views of the LOTR filing locations.

She not only had a perfect itinerary, but she also had waters, mints, cheese and crackers available to us - she seriously thought of everything! The wines were delicious and the stop for lunch (included) had the best lamb shank I’ve ever tasted!

My husband and I just got back to our cruise ship and can’t stop talking about how fantastic this tour and Helen’s hospitality was. This was defiitely the best wine tour we’ve taken, and we’ve taken many!

Thank you Helen, for such a amazing day!

  One of best land tours ever taken. - Our tour for ten people from the Cruise ship Regal Princess on Feb 7, 2017 was one of the best land tours we've ever taken. It was on a very... read more comfortable van for ten people and it was like Helen Waddington the tour company owner and guide was our best friend showing us her home town. Friendly , knowledgeable, great sense of humor and filled with anecdotes about her beloved Wellington. At the end we felt like we really knew Wellington. She even sent us a photo of our ship leaving the harbor sailing past her home.

  A Marvelous Day of Discovery - My wife and I spent yesterday with Helen, touring Martinborough wineries, visiting Kaitoke Regional Park, making a couple of important LOTR pilgrimages and learning a lot about the history and... read more culture of Aotearoa. As a professional educator and (almost) lifelong Kiwi, Helen makes for a superb tour guide. Her family includes long-established NZ wine growers as well, so her assistance in selecting wine tastings and purchases is impeccable. Everything about her tour is high quality, from the Mercedes Viano pickup clear through to the special chocolates at the end. Helen succeeded in delivering a most memorable day for us in this beautiful country. Highly, highly recommended!

  The Very Best! - We wanted an intimate private tour that covered a lot of ground during our one precious day in Wellington. Helen of Silver Cloud Tours delivered that and then some! We... read more rode the cable car, saw government buildings, St. Pauls Church, had a delicious lunch at Roxy Theater, took at tour of Weta Studios and finished off with a wonderful visit to Te Papa which Helen personally narrated. We told Helen about our interests (LOTR, Maori culture) and she thoughtfully incorporated that into our itinerary. I have a bad knee and Helen was always there to help me into the van which is super comfortable with captains seats. Helen is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about her home town of Wellington and kept us entertained and comfortable the whole time. After the tour was over Helen followed up that night with emails about things we might be interested in. We have been on quite a few private tours and Silver Cloud ranked up there with the best ever. Honestly we felt like Helen was a good friend rather than a tour guide. Prices are very reasonable for what you get too. Don't hesitate, book with Silver Cloud Luxury Tours!

  Recently had the pleasure of a family tour (4 adults) with Helen & Jonathan (driver). Helen's knowledge of Wellington is amazing. The tour was of the city sights... read more & we loved every bit of it, especially the cable car ride & morning tea at the Roxy Theatre. Both Helen & Jonathan were accommodating & friendly, nothing was too much trouble. They let us take our time at the attractions that we were especially interested in & we were never hurried. We can't wait to cruise back to Wellington again take another tour with Helen. Thank you so much for our wonderful experience of Wellington & for the photos of our ship (Celebrity Solstice) departing Wellington.

  Amazing service with love. Helens service exceeded my expectations. She was very helpful, patient, organised some extra service and adding to this, she can tell intersting stories.
